Moodle is a Learning Management System (LMS) that allows educators to create and deliver online courses that have a focus on interaction and collaborative construction of content. Part of the Open Source development community, Moodle software is free to use, modify, and redistribute to others in a public, collaborative manner. Open Source software continues to gain momentum as an alternative to the cost, control, and performance issues associated with commercially licensed products.
The North Dakota University System (NDUS) Advanced Learning Technologies (ALT) offers Moodle to all institutions and organizations within the university system. Williston State College was the first campus to begin using the service in the summer of 2008 and since then, a number of other campuses and NDUS organizations have started using Moodle.
ALT’s Moodle is hosted by Moodlerooms Inc. and an associated, 24x7 help desk is provided by Presidium Learning.
In addition to academic courses, ALT’s Moodle is used to support a variety of NDUS activities, including group events, training and professional development, and business operations.
